We also deal with sending the alert, as well as an avalanche-search procedure with the individual safety pack (transceiver-shovel-probe). The main goals of this course: Your professional mountain guide will introduce you to the appropriate behavior in case of an avalanche: presentation of the safety pack (transceiver-shovel-probe), what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.
